APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS the product, preferably by brush and/or vacuum.

SUBSTRATE QUALITY
The substrate must be sound, clean, dry, free from
contaminants such as dirt, grease, oil, old coatings, re-
lease agents, laitance and other adhesion preventing
or influencing substances.
On high absorbent, non-sound, contaminated, not ce-
ment based substrates precautions have to be taken
and a suitable primer has to be used.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Concrete Substrates
Concrete substrate must be prepared mechanically to
achieve an open textured surface.
Weak areas in the substrate must be removed and sur-
face defects such as blowholes and voids must be fully
exposed.
All dust, loose and friable material must be com-
pletely removed from all surfaces before application of
Open voids and blowholes need to be closed with a
suitable Sika® pore filling mortar. The roughness of the
substrate needs to be levelled with a suitable Sika®
rendering and levelling mortar.
Steel Surface
Steel surface must be prepared mechanically using ab-
rasive blast cleaning. The level SSPC-SP 10 “near white
metal blast cleaned” or level Sa 2 ½ according to ISO
EN 12944-4 has to be achieved. Welds and joints have
to be prepared according to EN 14879, part 1. After
blast cleaning remove all dust dirt and blasting materi-
al. In order to maintain the surface conditions after
blast cleaning air-conditioning is recommended.
MIXING
Prior to mixing stir part A mechanically. When all of
part B has been added to part A mix continuously for 3
minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. Use a
low speed electrical stirrer (300–400 rpm) to avoid air
